Local Knowledge from AwardWinning Designer Robyn Scott What makes Aspen a unique place/destination? What drew you to it? Aspen is a wonderful blend of old and new. Being tucked away among amazing views of the magical Maroon Bells and many other dramatic peaks, four ski-hill destinations and neighboring hip mountain towns, Aspen offers beauty and culture. I was drawn to Aspen because the people who live and visit are willing to take design and architecture risks. There are many talented professionals creating new design while honoring the past. Describe the Aspen lifestyle. My Aspen lifestyle is based on the commitment to the communities and the design profession while connecting with the outdoors. How would you describe the architecture and interior design styles found throughout the Aspen area? All over the board, from historic Victorians to European Mountain chalet to rustic log cabin to modern to minimalist. The best designs are when the space is designed in response to the client and to the region, which you will find much of in Aspen. In your opinion, what makes Aspen a design destination? Design can range from product to fashion to residential to hospitality to lighting to architecture as well as art. Aspen covers most of these disciplines with exposure to the Aspen Art Museum, boutique design shops, luxury hotel brands and a handful of great design professionals. We are so lucky to be immersed in the beauty of the outdoors and a design-savvy destination.

Robyn Scott Interiors Aspen, Colorado 970.927.5354 | rsidesigns.com Can you share a little about your firm and how it has evolved? Robyn Scott Interior, Ltd. opened in 2001 based on the premise of providing a highly professional level of service as a boutique firm and to design interiors as works of art. Fifteen years ago, we began by offering a new look to the mountain resort market: a fresh, modern design aesthetic when the current trend had been a European mountain aesthetic. Winning multiple ASID Colorado Chapter design awards for mountain modern interiors launched us into the market. Over the years we have evolved in providing luxury design and service in various design styles, reflecting our clients’ lifestyles while always keeping a clean, simple and overall architectural approach. We curate furnishing collections and create a highly personalized space as an overall experience. Describe the experience that your brand offers. What is unique about it? Scott’s full-service firm has developed a unique approach to interior design called Artitexture, a holistic approach to interiors where texture, art and furnishings become an expression of the architecture. Describe the craftsmanship behind your brand and/or products? Working with the client, design team and local artisans to craft distinct interior architectural elements and furniture designs gives our clients uniquely inspired spaces. Our mission is to provide a professional, personalized service, resulting in a design that brings joy to those daily experiences. Describe the philosophy behind your firm. RSI, Ltd. is, first and foremost, focused on people and their experiences of a space; doing so by developing a client’s vision in connection with the interior and exterior elements. We believe the key to a successful interior is collaboration.

Once you hear it, it’s hard to ignore. That inner voice that says “Let’s go play.” And it’s easy to listen to, when there are 8,200 acres of Backcountry wilderness calling. Because it’s different everytime out here and always wild at heart. So if you’re looking for a home that promises the adventure of the Great Outdoors, you may want to learn more about BackCountry.

ANTENNAE UP!

I’ve always felt that summer is the season when creative pursuits are ripest to blossom. It may seem counterintuitive that at a time of year when the pace slackens, a colliding of ideas would swell. Yet, it’s precisely the mind-wandering lazy days of summer, when many of us are traveling to far-flung destinations or simply puttering around in the garden on a “Summer Friday,” that the path to inspiration clears. An aha moment can lead you anywhere— hopefully, on a journey of new surroundings and experiences: from a fresh coat of paint on your living room walls to an impromptu dinner party under the stars. Creativity is a spark, best ignited with a large dose of passion, a slice of relaxation and a bit of imagination. This summer, be open to what’s new and refreshing. Hover through these days with your antennae up… sense what is possible. Let this issue, dedicated to exploring international design, be the trigger that kicks it all off.

EDITOR’S LETTER

JOHN POMP

JOHNPOMP.COM

Global Designer Collaborations that Re-imagine the Bath Space How one feels at home, personal wellness and the enjoyment of well-living are qualities that resonate more than ever today with consumers and have become must-have requirements for architects and designers when creating residential projects. As the place where the daily ritual begins and ends, the bathroom environment needs to evolve to reflect these desires. Progressive brands are thinking “outside the bath” and saying goodbye to mundane bath layouts, typical fixtures and homogenized accessories. As companies look to set themselves apart from the pack, more are reinventing the bath space by infusing it with highend European architecture and design. Rather than stick to their normal team of designers, these companies are seeking out talent known for their work in other fields to create products unlike any seen before. These revelatory collaborations tap into the designers’ unique perspectives, resulting in visionary products that go beyond the typical bathroom fare – and capture the creative spirit of imagination, innovation and art with a refined European edge. Ronbow® is one of these companies creating a difference in bath design. The new Signature Series by Ronbow features over 200 new products and 11 new collections of globally trendsetting bathroom products by nine of the world’s most distinguished artists and designers from six European countries. Known for their contributions to iconic brands such as Nike, Adidas, Vuitton, Audi, Apple and a firm recognized for several exotic Italian automobiles, these designers – each with their own unique sensibility – entrusted their prestigious reputations to Ronbow because of their ability to deliver on their requirements and ideas with innovation, great design and outstanding quality. By working with designers who may see the bathroom space and application in a different way than typical, Ronbow has created next-generation bathroom furniture and complete suites integrating a creative edge, convenient and smart innovations such as LED touch-sensitive mirrors, USB ports and plug outlets, refined accessories and unique material combinations.

VENTO - PININFARINA A 360° design house of international repute and a world-renowned symbol of Italian style, Pininfarina is arguably the most recognized brand in Italian sports car design and has designed in a multitude of other fields. The VENTO collection by Ronbow translates the Pininfarina identity into a variety of versatile and functional bathroom pieces for the design-minded consumer. The VENTO collection, or “wind” collection in Italian, emphasizes an elegant, sleek and innovative sinktop design inspired by perfectly smooth snowdrifts carved by fast, strong winds. Unmistakably, the designer’s mastery of Italian grace, sex appeal and flair are all conveyed in the sinktop.

WATERSPACE - JOAN LAO Based in Barcelona, Spain, Joan Lao is an international design icon recognized for his work in product, interior and architectural design. Since opening his design studio in 1985, he has participated in more than 3,000 interior design projects for clients who appreciate his unique design stamp across furniture, lamps and objects – one of balance and peace. Symbolizing soothing, flowing water, the WATERSPACE collection integrates natural tones, undulating textured wood finishes and a curved design theme for a complete sense of balance and tranquility.

PEBBLE - ORA ITO Ora Ito became globally famous in the ’90s by hijacking symbolic brands such as Apple and NIKE and presenting them with virtual visionary 3D products via media. He is ranked among the top 40 most influential people in the world of design and has collaborated with clients including Heineken, Toyota, Adidas and Pathé, to produce award-winning designs. Inspired by pebbles on the seashore, the PEBBLE collection represents Ito’s idea of “Simplexity” – art to give an object with complex functions a visible simplicity. The glossy white wood finish acts as a canvas to best showcase the unique, organic, “pebble-like” shapes and curves, bringing natural elegance and harmony to the contemporary bath.

Thanks to these visionary designer pairings, Ronbow has recontextualized a new world beyond the bath.

NOCE - MATTEO THUN Designed by revered Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun, who is well-known for his design work with Swatch, and Antonio Rodriquez, the NOCE collection was born to combine urban and contemporary classic styles. The NOCE collection is reminiscent of iconic 1960s vintage style with a modern, functional twist, including LEDs and integrated electrical outlets and USB ports. The suite includes mid-century modern inspired vanities along with optional hutches and more – resulting in a space that is compact but comfortable.

WIDE - PHOENIX DESIGN Phoenix Design is regarded as the leading independent studio worldwide for product and interface design, with clients including Audi, Duravit, Hansgrohe, Samsung and ZEISS. Recognized for its revolutionary design achievements, Phoenix Design has received more than 700 design awards since its foundation in 1987 and has collaborated with Ronbow for two new collections. Named for its vertically “stacked,” asymmetrical appearance, the STACK collection is built from layers of contrasting materials, colors, shapes and orientations – creating a unique, multi-functional living space. Inspired by Bauhaus design theory and style, the WIDE collection celebrates the elegance of pure, clean design and harmonious color combinations.

SANDY JACKSON

FINE ART

IN THE ORIGINAL AND INVENTIVE WORKS OF SANDY JACKSON, ARTISTRY AND SCIENCE ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. The Coloradobased artist uses one-of-a-kind techniques and applications to create rare and neverbefore-seen artwork, including thick cast-glass countertops and fine art furnishings. Examples of Jackson’s ingenuity include patina painting and kiln processes only known by a handful of people—and even then, her exact methodology is still distinct—and the deft mixing of chemicals to create formulas and colors that react with her raw steel canvases. Over many years of experimentation and practice, Jackson has successfully developed a technique for bringing colors out of the chemicals she uses for her art. “I feel like I am always on the cutting edge, because I am inventing my own process as I go. I offer fine art that cannot be duplicated anywhere by anyone—sometimes not even by me!” she enthuses. Her gift for the rare and exotic has attracted a worldly, creative clientele, many of whom she works with personally, creating highly customized pieces. “I love to take the time to consult with each client. I take into account their style, fabrics, flooring and overall design and make sure all pieces will enhance the space,” she says. “When I listen to their ideas, my mind shuffles, and my own ideas develop so fast. People tell me they can feel the energy erupting like a volcano of creativity!”

“Everything I do, from paintings to countertops to furniture design, is pure art form.” –Sandy Jackson

Inspired by her cast-glass sculptures, Jackson kiln fired this 1.5”-thick cast-glass countertop, incorporating crystal colored glass with gray glass veining and cream flecks. 3.

COMMITMENT

Brewster McLeod Architects is an award-winning boutique architecture firm specializing in luxury residential architecture, located in Aspen and Telluride, Colorado.

WHERE I STARTED In 1999 with a Masters in Architecture from Montana State University â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bozeman, I found myself living in Telluride Colorado. I worked for the small residential firm Gibson Architects, where I was first introduced to residential building. In 2002, I moved to San Francisco, California to work for a large design firm, gaining vast experience in commercial tenant build-outs, wineries, and high-end residential projects. In 2005 I decided to move back to the mountains of Colorado and took a position with my previous firm Gibson Architects, managing their offices in Aspen & Telluride. In 2006 with the encouragement of many of my current clients, I made the decision to start my own Architecture firm. WHERE I AM TODAY With a growing team specializing in luxury residential projects, Brewster McLeod Architects has entered into a new realm of luxury design, offering full services in Architectural, Land Use Planning, Interiors and Furnishings. With a thriving business, we are fortunate to have amazing clients from all around the world that value the level of design services we provide. WHERE WE ARE GOING As we cater to our past, current, and future clients every growing design needs, we find ourselves traveling outside of the Colorado area and looking to expand our reach to new endeavors while continuously striving for excellence in our design. Looking to the future the Brewster McLeod Architects team is thankful for where we are today and welcome the new opportunities to come. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jamie L. Brewster McLeod, AIA, President

2006 I started my boutique luxury architectural design firm at the age of 31, with locations in Aspen and Telluride, Colorado.

2011 During a depressed economy, a speculation house we designed sold for over $13,000,000 after being on the market for less than a year. Additional clients wanted to buy the house, but bought the house next door instead, which we had just finished drawings on in 2011. It was purchased before construction started.

2012 I hired my first employee after six years of a solo practice.

2013 Besides providing full-service architectural services, we started offering land use planning, interiors and furnishings services. We were awarded the 40 Under 40 award.

2015 We worked on over 10 projects that had a luxury construction price point over $10,000,000.

2016 We celebrated our 10-year anniversary with clients, associates and employees. I look forward to the next 10 amazing years to come.

BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

LAURE JOLIET

Photographer / Los Angeles

KIMBERLY OLSON Writer / San Francisco

Most memorable interview: I interviewed a couple who were high school sweethearts and had just built their Miami dream home. The design team created a space that was such a reflection of them, incorporating elements that evoked both their world travels and an indoor-outdoor feel, as well as adding a sound system for parties. The husband even designed some first-of-theirkind, remote-controlled gas lanterns, which are now on the market—a true passion project. What’s your design style? I like classic pieces with a sense of history, but I also appreciate clean lines without too much fussiness—and I’m definitely not someone to shy away from color. I have a tufted-velvet sofa in a lovely lime green. No regrets! Prized possessions: A gorgeous Tiffany-style stained glass lamp that my father made for me and an old doll that belonged to my grandmother, which my parents had restored as a birthday gift. I’d include my cat, Ariel, but she rules the roost, so she might object to being called a possession.

CYNTHIA LYNN Photographer / Chicago What type of design inspires you? I’m really fascinated with late19th-century architecture. However, my own personal taste is very modern. I just love when architects and designers marry the two. For example, when they choose to keep the façade of existing structures but completely modernize the living space, I think that’s just fantastic! Most interesting person you’ve ever met: My husband and I went truffle hunting in Alba, Italy, and met a truffle hunter and his dog, Gigi. He was absolutely fascinating—from the way he interacted with the dog to the history he upheld for the art of truffle hunting. It was as if he were a character written for a book. He also spoke very little English, so his enchanting personality transcended language barriers. It was one of my fondest memories, and I’m so grateful we were able to meet him. If I weren’t a photographer, I would… Run an animal rescue and rehabilitation center. I’m a huge animal person and have such a soft spot for dogs. I do what I can now by fostering, but I would love to do more someday.

JENNIFER SERGENT Writer / Washington, D.C. What do you find most enjoyable about design? I like that it’s so personal, like music. Designers can take the same fabrics and furniture (as musicians do with the same notes and scales) and combine them in limitless ways to express a point of view or mood. I see interior design as transformative for the psyche even more than for aesthetics. Prized possession: A chest my husband commissioned designer and furniture maker Caleb Woodard to make for me. The carved wood on the doors resembles woven ribbons. If money were no object, I would buy… A beach house in Fenwick Island, Delaware. I’ve vacationed there with my family since I was little, and it would be great to own something there.

Favorite Luxe shoot: A penthouse in San Francisco I photographed that had views of the Transamerica building, through the dining room window, and the Golden Gate Bridge, out the living room windows. It was great! What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that there’s so much room these days for innovation and experimentation. The Internet has democratized a lot of the design world, so small firms making thoughtful pieces can thrive alongside huge companies. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: I sat next to an army doctor on a flight out of Boise who was on his way to Liberia to head up Ebola treatment centers at the peak of the epidemic. He had so much life experience, compassion and courage, as well as epic patience, as I peppered him with questions for two hours. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to own a heated outdoor bench from Galanter & Jones for chilly California evenings, artwork by Lauren Spencer King, and a custom quilt from Counterpane.

DRAWN TO SCALE

THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND THE BELOVED OUTDOOR FURNITURE BRAND JANUS ET CIE, JANICE FELDMAN DESIGNS HER OWN LEGACY THANKS TO A COUPLE OF MUCH-BUZZED-ABOUT NEW PARTNERSHIPS.

Share your recent decision to join Haworth and the Poltrona Frau Group. Well, it’s been a journey, but I wanted very much to ensure the future of my business: that when I’ve retired, to that great drawing board in the sky, my life’s work will be cared for and regarded with admiration and respect, and that I’ll have created a good, safe place for the people who have helped me get to where I am. Poltrona Frau is a great bastion of luxury furniture, and they’re super-respectful of the autonomy of their individual brands, so I feel honored to be the little sister of their group. They’re going to help us grow globally much quicker than I could have as a standalone company.

Is there anything you’ll miss about going at it alone? Truly, I was never really “alone.” When I was a little girl, my mother always said, “You can do anything.” I’ve lived with that in my head and heart, and she helped and encouraged me every step of the way. The best part about being independent for so long was that I got to prove my mother right. I’ve always made decisions based on my own feelings and my own definitions of what’s good or bad, so it might be challenging at first to be more collaborative and sensitive to other people’s visions, but Dario Rinero, Poltrona’s CEO, is a wonderful leader, and I’m confident we have a lot to learn from each other.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

What led you to tap Piero Lissoni to design an upcoming collection for Janus et Cie? I’ve been tracking him for a long time, and I just think everything he does is beautiful. He’s also a total character. Every time I look at Piero, I’m struck by his physicality: I want to draw him. He’s got this long, linear, Giacometti thing happening, and it’s in his drawings and product design, too. I trust the collection will be something very special and that it will be refined and long-lived—something where, 20 or 50 years from now, people will still say they want to buy pieces from the collaboration. How do you keep your creative mojo alive and well? I love to sketch. It helps me think—to take things out of my head and put them down on paper. I started drawing at a very young age, and I was hooked the moment I took my first art class. The instructor made us look at the model and draw without referencing the paper in front of us at all. It was kind of amazing to let your brain communicate directly with your fingers and the pen and to not be burdened by having to check in on yourself. It stuck with me. Today, I often keep a journal or a notepad when I travel; sometimes, I jot down ideas, and other times, I’ll paint a portrait or a chair—anything really. I’m extremely visual, and I edit the world in my own way every day.

GUIDE & SEEK

ANTIQUING IS ALL ABOUT THE THRILL OF THE HUNT, UNEARTHING DÉCOR RICHES THAT TAKE INTERIORS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PROVENANCE.

Antique neophytes and aficionados alike know that when it comes to seeking period pieces in Europe, the legendary Paris Flea Market is a beacon of uncovered treasures that is not to be missed. In any given direction of the décor haven, though, there is a bevy of insider-caliber antiques dealers and emporiums silently beckoning from the far corners of southern England, Holland, northern France and Belgium, where private residences (such as Axel Vervoordt’s storied castle) open their doors to welcome guests, by-appointment only, on the hunt for uncommon goods. Here, a collection of antique garden gnomes and neo-Gothic cathedral ceilings are as fair game as British Colonial case goods and Louis-era anything. What was once a sport for design-loving history buffs, and, let’s face it, your grandmother, is now much further reaching. “Antiques are being used more overall, but less in abundance,” notes Toma Clark Haines, CEO and founder of The Antiques Diva & Co., Europe’s largest network of antiques buying tours. “More people are seeking something authentic that their neighbor doesn’t have, including the younger generation. They are looking for experiences as unique as they are and want their homes to tell those stories through key pieces.” Haines, an American expat whose home base is in Berlin, offers a crucial piece of advice no matter how obscure or conventional your purchasing pursuits: “Buy with your heart. You may not know the difference between Louis XV and Louis XVI, but if you buy what you love, you can always learn about it later.” Taking her cue, we invite you to explore our robust list of must-shop European dealers and locales—we dare you to leave empty-handed.

Lorfords Antiques Tetbury, England

Reason to go: For argument’s sake, Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, has the best inventory in all of the U.K. and Europe. According to Haines: “It’s like you’ve taken the Paris Flea Market and picked out the top 10 percent of its decorative items and put them in one unexpected location.” What you’ll find: Owners Toby Lorford and Lesley Ferguson converted two World War II-era aircraft hangars, which currently house the wares of 45 dealers. It’s truly a one-stop shop where time seems to stand still (though quickly ticks away) while visitors scour every alcove and leave feeling like family. Their selection runs the gamut, including standouts like a signed 18th-century Swedish Rococo tragsoffa, late 18th-century French limestone wellhead and a pair of circa-1970s Ingo Maurer spring lamps.

Paul De Grande Snellegem, Belgium

Reason to go: Paul De Grande’s personal collection of over 10,000 antiques is reason enough to make a stop in Snellegem, Belgium. The pieces are effortlessly on display in his own home: a glorious property that greets you with marble sculptures and bronze busts set atop fluted pedestals. Just when you think you’ve seen everything De Grande has to offer on the ground level of his castle, you descend into the basement to uncover a labyrinth of goods. What you’ll find: The discoveries are wide in range: Meandering through the castle unveils cast-iron lion and unicorn andirons from the 19th century mingling fluently with a decorative carousel duck poised beside an unusual 18th-century country French vaisselier, while inlaid Chinese chairs inset with marble plaques in the backrest join 17th-century Flemish tapestries and Dutch carved coconut flasks. And as if the options in De Grande’s residence weren’t sufficient, there are voluminous warehouses a quick car ride away with a dizzying assortment of 16th- to 19th-century cupboards, vitrines, commodes, bureaus and even a life-size patinated zinc camel.

Jean-Philippe Demeyer Knokke-Heist, Belgium Reason to go: Jean-Philippe Demeyer takes obvious chances with his antiques picks, but trust us, it’s all good. The spaces in his moatencircled castle, well, one is more lavish than the next, fashioned with a cocktail of textures,

Clockwise from top: Paul De Grande’s warehouse space is a trove of antique goods. A quiet moment at Bie Baert’s personal home. You’ll find elegant historical pieces next door to the beautiful JVR108 guesthouse in Antwerp. The personality-filled sitting room at Jean-Philippe Demeyer’s Belgian home.

colors and peculiarities that all add up to a somehow melodious visual feast. What you’ll find: It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what will be available at Demeyer’s home on any given weekend, as the designer and antiques enthusiast buys whatever strikes his fancy. Nothing is off-limits, as Demeyer isn’t tied to any of the fantastic specimens he owns; in fact, he welcomes change, and observes pieces coming and going as an opportunity to hunt down more precious décor gems.

Bie Baert Brecht, Belgium

Reason to go: Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll encounter a person and place that make you feel immediately at ease. Bie Baert is that person, and her charming cottage on the outskirts of Antwerp is that place. Like walking

What you’ll find: Antique garden gnomes, an anatomical model of a worker bee and a menagerie of wooden lay figures somehow seem obvious, filling every nook and cranny of Baert’s home. Your resting place for an espresso and a chat, a 14-foot-long table, made out of one solid piece of oak, is where you survey your surroundings and unexpectedly spot two perfectly worn red-leather Cassina chairs and a cheery bird-adorned plaster chandelier by Jacques Darbaud, circa 1990.

JVR108

Antwerp, Belgium

Reason to go: Antiquing through Belgium could take a few days, and Philip Ver Hoeye and Frederick Aers’ luxury three-bedroom guesthouse in Antwerp is unquestionably an ultrachic place to rest. The best part? Most of the furnishings throughout the fully renovated historical mansion are for sale, as are all the finds next door at their dedicated antiques shop. What you’ll find: The lovely hosts of JVR108 recently acquired all the contents of Belgium’s famous Chateau Rozenhout, which means you can own an iconic piece from one of the great houses of Europe. Other offerings include keenly curated British, Italian, Swedish and Asian antiques that exemplify the couple’s exceptional tastes.

Monique Relander Schoten, Belgium

Reason to go: From the looks of Monique Relander’s home, “edit, edit, edit” is her mantra. An impeccable assortment of antique and vintage furnishings, lighting, tabletop and décor beckon you to roam through every room, taking in the crystal chandeliers, velvet scallop-edged settees, and oil works by Belgian artist Smaël Laurent. What you’ll find: Newly upholstered midcentury Italian armchairs, Swedish loungers and Louis XV-style caned dining chairs abound. A zebra-hide rug might lead your eye into another room where a marble-topped gueridon table with gilded swan adornments holds a Maison Charles pineapple lamp. A peek into her country kitchen, complete with a bifocals-wearing boar head holding guard above the fireplace, may reveal a medley of vintage fruit-shaped ice buckets.

Anouk Beerents Amsterdam, Netherlands

Reason to go: If you’re ever faced with the arduous choice of how to spend an afternoon in Amsterdam, we’re about to make it easy for you: Make a point to see Anouk Beerents’ inconceivably magical mirror shop. Ornate gilded mirror after mirror hung on movable tracks will leave you intoxicated and enamored, as if you walked through the looking glass itself into a wonderland. What you’ll find: Beerents specializes in 18th- and 19th-century French gilded

mirrors, specifically Louis XIV, Régence, Louis XV and Louis XVI, all of which she sources herself. To preserve authenticity, Beerents conservatively restores them with old-world techniques.

Espace Nord Ouest Bondues, France

Reason to go: Two hours north of Paris, Espace Nord Ouest is quickly becoming the European source for antiques dealers in the states that focus on decorative eccentricities, as well as major fashion retailers looking to outfit their stores with unique curiosities. What you’ll find: Seventeen professional dealers over nearly 13,000 square feet offer a downright cool assortment of 17th- to 20th-century pieces, such as industrial and shop furniture, garden décor, architectural salvage, classic French seating and case pieces, and vintage midcentury lighting and furnishings.

A lavish robe shot through with silk. A vessel painstakingly engraved with precious metals. A portrait rendered in watercolor, ink and gold. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent exhibition “Court and Cosmos: The Great Age of the Seljuqs” showcases the artistic splendor that flourished during the reign of the Seljuqs, whose rule stretched across Western Asia from the 11th through the 13th centuries. In conjunction with the show, the museum’s store is introducing a line of modern-day heirlooms—ranging from glass objects and jewelry to ceramics and limited-edition rugs— that celebrate the dynamic legacy of the period. “It was evident that the pattern and color inherent in the original art still influences and inspires makers today,” says Susan Noonan, the museum’s general manager of buying and merchandising.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART

Among those tapped to create the new interpretations of these centuries-old designs was Barbara Barran of Classic Rug Collection in New York. “The colors are gorgeous, and I love the geometry,” Barran says of the region’s art. It wouldn’t be the first time Barran, who has traveled frequently to the Middle East, has transformed work from the area into carpets. “I’ve designed rugs based on Iznik tiles and translated them into 300-knot silk,” she notes. “The Seljuq pieces are from a slightly earlier time period, but there was something about them that was very familiar.” The source materials selected as a jumpingoff point for the rugs immediately resonated with Barran, easily informing her design direction. For example, after seeing the stone-paste mina’i bowl with an abstract pattern from some 900

years ago in the museum’s collection—which served as the foundation for the Mina’i Good Wishes rug (above)—Barran “knew it should be a wool flat weave because it needed to have the earthiness of the original bowl,” adding, “The colors were lovely and the repetition of the pattern had a gorgeous rhythm.” The other source—another mina’i piece featuring a zigzag pattern and gilding—suggested a more polished take. Offered in wool with silk accents, the Mina’i Zigzag rug hews closely to the spirit of its namesake but is imbued with a modern feel. While nearly a millennium separates Barran from the original creators, she still feels a sense of connection. “There’s a liveliness to the art from this period,” Barran explains. “You look at it and find yourself picturing the people who created it. To me, they’re not strangers.”

UPWARDLY MOBILE THE WORLD’S FOREMOST VENUE FOR LUXURY FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES—SALONE DEL MOBILE—CAPTURES THE INHERENT COOL OF THE ITALIAN CITY THAT IT CALLS HOME.

Among Salone del Mobile’s many new introductions were (clockwise from top) Natuzzi’s Dorian line, Flou’s Softwing bed—an update on the company’s famous Nathalie—and Poltrona Frau’s Neri&Hu-designed mirror.

It is, as it turns out, nearly impossible to order an icy glass of water in Milan—room-temperature naturale being completely de rigueur; instead, the cosmopolitan Italian city concerns itself with a different kind of cool. Here, for one week each spring, its fashionable citizens (think plenty of black, linen, leather and painstakingly rolled-up jeans and cigarette pants) join an international conglomerate of visiting design aficionados, trading in their impossibly stylish heels and wingtips for sensible footwear all in the name of design as Salone del Mobile rolls into town. The floors of Salone, the world’s largest furnishings fair, which inhabits the sprawling halls of the Milano Congressi convention center designed by Mario Bellini, are meant to be thoroughly explored, pavement pounded—each corner of its nearly 600,000 square feet filled with furniture and accessories from the world’s preeminent creative minds. And while the talent hails from all over Europe and beyond, there’s a distinctly Italian flavor to the proceedings: a flair for the dramatic and a gravitas provided by the beautifully preserved centuries-old buildings that host the design events within the city, both in the showrooms of established Italian brands and in a bevy of what we affectionately referred to as “palazzo pop-ups” during our visit. Kohler’s showing of its new line of fixtures in collaboration with the French designer Jean-Louis Deniot, for example, takes place at the tony Palazzo Durini di Monza, a 17th-century mansion designed by the Baroque architect Francesco Maria Richini—a juxtaposition of modern chrome and porcelain against ancient stone and Renaissance art. In Bottega Veneta’s dedicated home boutique, too, the venerable fashion house-turned-luxury furniture brand pairs the sleek lines of its übermodern living, dining, office and bedroom

offerings with 18th-century frescoes by artists like Carlo Innocenzo Carlone and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The result is startling but also, somehow, entirely inevitable thanks to the attention to detail that is paramount in Italian design. And it’s everywhere. For celebrated kitchen brands like Varenna by Poliform and Boffi, each cabinet front and drawer is a work of art—every element carefully veneered, laser-cut and dovetailed together like so many puzzle pieces. At Flou, a variety of new introductions are a pitch-perfect complement to the brand’s longtime bestsellers, like the Nathalie—arguably the industry’s first upholstered bed, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1978, which still looks utterly timeless with its tireless slipcovered reinventions. Longtime power players B&B Italia and Flexform, too, stay nimble by introducing covetable new pieces— like the Do-Maru armchair by Doshi Levien and a brand-new line of seating by Daniel Libeskind, respectively—to a roster of old favorites. On once-barren concrete plots in the middle of the convention center, each brand transforms its booth into a mini home away from home—each one different and dazzling but many embracing a rich, Italian minimalism as a common theme along with another unifier, this one a bit more material (literally): While structured Italian footwear is more or less on hiatus for the week, leather pervades everything else. It’s in the thick straps of the striking, buckled light pendants and impressive Neri&Hu-designed mirror and valet stand at Poltrona Frau; it’s used in a hundred different ways on the supple cushions of Natuzzi and Molteni&C’s many beautiful sofas and chairs; it’s inset into the ultimate desk for movers and shakers at Promemoria; and it’s woven and stitched with remarkable precision across a variety of Hermès home offerings. For all its eye candy and endless inspiration, the true beauty of Salone is in the escape it provides: Here, there are a multitude of worlds rapidly constructed, but with great care, that you can imagine yourself in, with thousands of new products with which to redesign the perfect room in your mind, and not a single person to pass judgment. They’re design lovers, after all, and they’re likely doing the exact same thing, and we’re happy to toast to that—the water may be warm, but the Prosecco is ice cold.

WHO: Denver-based photographer and maker Jarrod Renaud documents his love for the rough yet beautiful art of woodworking, all against a backdrop of handsome Colorado scenery—for a taste of everything from whiskey to sawdust. WHAT: His hyper-masculine feed embodies Colorado’s artisan movement. Each image is expertly captured with authenticity and grit— whether it be a hazy campfire, snow-covered boots, copper coffee pots or his covetable handcarved wooden spoons. Renaud is a storyteller. Expect to find not only breathtaking compositions but also a compelling narrative behind each shot. WHY: If you’re outdoorsy, adventurous or if you like your whiskey neat, Renaud’s scenic ’grams serve up the perfect dose of rugged inspiration. IN HIS WORDS: “First and foremost, people inspire me to take a photo. Our relationships are the only things that really matter in this world. I love to see the slivers of a story in folks’ lives, from their homes and in their eyes.”

THE CENTRAL MARKET The Central Market, Denver’s much-buzzed-about multiuse food hall, is finally open in the city’s happening RiNo enclave. Conceived as the brainchild of two likeminded visionaries—real estate developer Ken Wolf and revered chef Jeff Osaka—the culinary destination’s singular purpose is to create an accessible gourmet grocery that serves as both a food emporium and neighborhood community space. The expansive 12,000-square-foot market, housed in the historic H.H. Tammen Curio Company building, was designed by Denver-based LIV Studio, with the interiors program serving as an ode to the building’s storied past. For instance, the iconic windows remain untouched; the walls display exhibit-style plaques on the structure’s history; and the bar is aptly coined “Curio” after its original designation. LIV Studio further imbued the space with old-timey charm using midcentury lights from a gymnasium in Detroit and vintage cast-iron French urns. The foodie haven hosts 13 of Colorado’s finest food artisans, curated by Osaka himself, for a truly one-stop culinary immersion experience. thecentralmarketdenver.com

IRONWOOD When did you open? William Childress and I opened the doors to the store at 14 S. Broadway in 2011. Describe the space. It is cozy, inviting and special, but not precious. On the floor: The majority of what we carry is home goods that have a strong focus on the natural world or works from small makers. We have loads of plants, rocks and minerals, vintage and contemporary art, and ceramics, jewelry, books and some furniture—it does change all the time, but the basic bones stay the same. Tell us about your name. We got inspired by a specific ironwood tree in the Sonoran Desert. It grows in a very harsh climate and creates a hospitable ecosystem for other species to thrive. That is how we see the shop: a fertile environment for amazing makers to have the chance to sell their wares and succeed. What makes Ironwood unique? My number-one priority is that people feel comfortable in the space. It is such a compliment to me when people come in and spend time looking, touching, reading and just enjoying our products and atmosphere. We also do a lot of plant special orders, plus terrarium planting, house plant consultations and installs for private residences and offices. Do you host special events? We have art openings bimonthly and host small acoustic music shows on occasion. ironwoodcollection.com WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MIMI FAUCETT

Natural dye artisan Edie Ure didn’t even know where Boulder was before she relocated there from her beloved Brooklyn in 2009. “But now, I can’t imagine being far from the mountains,” explains the artist. The laidback locale turned out to be exactly what she needed to launch her eponymous interiors brand—its quiet beauty the perfect backdrop to her dyeing work, which she began in July of 2014. “My textiles are made slowly by hand, using amazing raw materials like soft silk-velvets, Belgian and Irish linens, and organic cottons,” Ure explains. To achieve her luminescent color range of blushes, indigos, mustards and lavenders, the artisan looks to her surroundings: think wood chips, leaves, flowers, roots, vegetables and minerals. She builds on centuries-old pattern-making techniques, such as itajime shibori and arashi shibori from Japan and Africa, to exact her dreamy patterns. “I try to make things that last and have an impact on the user, but not the earth,” she says. Here, the conscientious creator takes us through a creativity-filled day in Boulder. edieure.com

9 a.m. Head to Mount Sanitas Trailhead for a morning hike. There are two routes—one is steeper and rockier and the other is less challenging. Both trails have beautiful scenery and are minutes from downtown. For the less-adventurous crowd, take a 10-mile drive up Sunshine Canyon to Gold Hill—a tiny old mining town that’ll transport you back 100 years. 11 a.m. For brunch, go to Alpine Modern Café. It serves the perfect egg tartine and avocado toast alongside other sandwich offerings on a pretzel baguette. Enjoy the smoked salmon while reading the daily newspaper or a copy of its quarterly magazine. 1 p.m. Make your way to 10th Street to visit Cedar & Hyde Mercantile, and look for the owners, sisters Christie and Poss Lambert, for the lowdown. 118 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Browse their women’s racks for brands like Rachel Comey, Clyde and No. 6. For bath and body products, the shop has Aesop on hand, and for home wares, check out the light fixtures by Heather Levine Ceramics—beyond beautiful— and my own silk-velvet plantdyed blush pillows. 2 p.m. Go right next door to Fawns Leap flower shop and grab a lavender cookie and a coffee at Cured West (in the same space). 2:30 p.m. Take a walk around Pearl Street, and drop into Trident Booksellers and Cafe to find your favorite Beat writers on the shelves, and expect to be sitting next to an Allen Ginsberg lookalike. Right next door is vintage jewelry store Classic Facets. 3 p.m. Wander over to the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. It’s housed in a historic building and hosts national and international art of varying appeal. Adjacent is the Dushanbe Teahouse, which was presented to the city as a gift from Boulder’s sister city in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The exterior is clad in Persian ceramic panels. I love its Sparkling Hibiscus cocktail.

4 p.m. Next, stop at By Elke. It has small-batch, one-of-a-kind bags in super soft leathers and vintage fabrics, all handmade by Elke and her team. If you have time, visit Carol Ann Wachter’s art studio and store; she is a fine artist and fashion designer with an astute sense of color and impeccable style. Additionally, she curates other artists and ceramicists to exhibit in her studio. 6 p.m. Check out Boulder Creative Collective, a warehouse gallery space that hosts creative events and exhibitions in east Boulder. Three friends created this space to bring good art to the city.

DATE BOOK PHOTOS: DARIN COMBS.

8 a.m. First things first, grab a juice at Wonder. This is a must for an early morning cold-pressed juice—unlike anything you have ever tasted. Verde is its classic green juice, but it also has more unusual options, such as the delicious Yam Spice Latte from the Organic Roots menu.

Using a clever blend of materials and a brilliant palette of pale pinks and blues, fashion journalist-turned-hotelier Vanessa Scoffier takes a casual yet chic approach to traditional French design with Hotel Henriette. Located on a quintessentially European cobblestone street in the 13th Arrondissement, the hotel boasts ample boutique qualities and unexpected details. Here, we take our lead from the hotel’s private and public spaces— outfitted with plush, organic textiles and antique metalwork throughout—for a collection of items, like luxe linens from Cultiver in dreamy, subdued hues and a delicate brass bowl by Blackman Cruz, that capture the essence of cool thanks to a little je ne sais quoi.

ISLAND TIME

PLAYA GRANDE BEACH CLUB: MARIA TRINIDAD SANCHEZ, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 10

Inspired by local island life and traditional Dominican Colonial architecture, interior designer Celerie Kemble collaborated with historic preservationist Elric Endersby to create the idyllic retreat of Playa Grande Beach Club. A blend of vintage and contemporary elements, this tropical oasis showcases a palette of vibrant hues paired with neutral tones of raw, natural materials. In a style akin to the hotel’s breezy and native design, Sebastian Herkner’s poolside rocking chair for Dedon—made of a solid-teak frame—uses organic elements in a similar way, with laid-back sophistication in mind. So kick back, relax and style your own seasonal seaside hideaway.

PARADISE FOUND SALA AYUTTHAYA: AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND

Renowned for its opulent temples and lavish sacred spaces, Thailand takes great pride in its legendary history of architecture and design. Located directly across from the Wat Phutthai Sawan temple, built in 1353 A.D. by the first monarch of the area, Sala Ayutthaya was conceived with both its namesake’s long architectural past in mind and a focus on reinvented minimalist Thai design. Visionaries Siriyot Chaiamnuay and Arisara Chaktranon of architectural firm Onion embraced a purist palette and pale pops of serene colors—not unlike Cle Tile’s Vintage Rose accents and Louise Gray’s Quilt No. 3. shown here—and commissioned local talent to help construct the tranquil refuge in the heart of this storied city.

At first sight: Christophe Delcourt’s piece is inspired by nature but executed in a distinctly modern way. France is all about beauty and tradition: The country has a vast design history that creatives, especially in the culinary and furniture worlds, must honor and interpret. But above all… You can always count on a French designer to revel in beauty. A statement piece… Stands out on its own, has a story and evokes conversation. To me, this entire piece reads as a sculpture: The table represents a great balance of form and function. It’s hard to achieve that balance, but you don’t get there without taking a risk. Lasting impression: Angular, dynamic, artistic, structural, modern.

PALME D’OR

THE PIECE: Zer Coffee Table THE DESIGNER: Christophe Delcourt MADE IN: France FIND IT: avenue-road.com THE INSPIRATION: Using graphic zebrano wood veneer as his medium of choice, designer Christophe Delcourt employs sculptural form to successfully reimagine the art of marquetry—breathing new life into a classic technique.

NATURAL SELECTION THE PIECE: Hauri Candleholders and Lava Trays and Candleholder THE DESIGNERS: Caterina Moretti and Ana Saldaña MADE IN: Mexico FIND IT: peca.com.mx THE INSPIRATION: The designers focused their creative lens on raw materials found in nature—think volcanic rock and black-and-white marble—when creating these objets d’art, proving that texture and form are true works of art unto themselves.

SARAH & SHERMAN SAMUEL

DESIGNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR SARAHSHERMANSAMUEL.COM

At first sight: I’m struck by Peca’s clever and restrained use of natural materials. It’s such an artful mélange of brass, stone and marble. The juxtapositions within the composition… Are alluring and calming all at once; the soft textiles of the background beautifully foil the natural, hard materials used for the tray and candleholders. I’d love to see… The candleholders reimagined as a giant abacus. When scouting product for my clients… These are the types of pieces I like to introduce. It’s so important to be aware of the artisanal hand behind the designs you bring into someone’s home. Boundaries in design… Exist to be pushed: No risk, no reward. Lasting impression: Balanced, sculptural, geometric, artful, bold.

STRING THEORY THE PIECE: Husk Medium-High Chair THE DESIGNER: Marc Thorpe MADE IN: Italy FIND IT: moroso.it THE INSPIRATION: The contoured lines of these handwoven polyethylene yarns result in a playful seating dialogue sure to keep potential perchers charmed and intrigued.

At first sight: Naturally, I love the riot of bold, carnival colors Marc Thorpe used with this piece, which feels perfectly timed for this year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. And as a champion of color… I’m always encouraging my clients and readers to embrace hue in all forms, from soft shades to zingy brights. I’m drawn to Italian design… Because artists combine native craftsmanship with industrial processing techniques, manifesting in products that reflect inspirations across the world stage. A statement piece… Is that hero object that captures the eye and provides a resting point. Lasting impression: Proud, witty, fierce, bold, sexy.

IN THE MIX THE PIECE: Full Moon Collection THE DESIGNER: Chaehoon Moon MADE IN: Korea FIND IT: damooncollection.com THE INSPIRATION: Product designer Chaehoon Moon is fearless when it comes to her material choices, assembling stunning handcrafted yuhgee tableware (borne from a combination of copper and tin) with a traditional ott-chil (textured Korean lacquer) finish. But it’s the pieces’ subtle collision of these tangibles that proves to be so unforgettable.

At first sight: Chaehoon Moon’s collection has a galactic elegance. To me, the pieces represent what’s next in design: total understated futurism. Korean design… As seen here, practices beautiful restraint and simplicity, which is much harder than it looks. Handmade is the truest luxury: Handcrafted using new materials and traditional inspiration, these pieces have a magnetic energy you can’t deny. The cast palm shadows and velvet background… Remind me of dreamy, high-end entertaining on the West Coast. I could imagine myself… Dishing out fresh crudités in these fab, modern vessels. Lasting impression: Refined, clean, lustrous, minimal, gentle.

At first sight: We love that Gabriel Scott’s bench mixes modern with traditional design, and we also go crazy for anything with a good rivet. Provenance and history are key for us: We are storytellers, and the pieces that we present to our clients should have an amazing tale to tell. The Madcaps love a great velvet: It’s like Auntie Mame went to Venice before heading to Morocco for heaps of cocktails. A statement piece… Can serve as a conversation starter when you meet someone at a party and have no idea what to talk about. We’d like to see this bench… In a hallway under a blowsy floral wallpaper. Lasting impression: Riveted, gilt, versatile, chic, edgy.

CROWN JEWEL THE PIECE: Prong Bench Short THE DESIGNER: Gabriel Scott MADE IN: Canada FIND IT: gabriel-scott.com THE INSPIRATION: With the frame of a bold ring in mind, this bench is a combination of precise angles and delicate curves that collide to form quite a handsome setting, complete with a plush upholstered pillow on top: A no-brainer for the home, since it’s too big to fit in your jewelry box.

At first sight: Rachel Horn’s tables are a fresh update on a classic design; she pulls classic shapes, design and motifs and seamlessly updates them with a modern point of view. Mexico is home to some of the most incredible artisans: Metalwork is the country’s specialty, and the connection between the age-old technique and Rachel’s designs is very apparent. Nothing worth having comes easily: The best moments in design happen beyond our comfort zones. The simple silhouette of these tables takes on a whole new level of interest through the designer’s use of rough-hewn texture on the legs. The blush velvet hues and moody shadows of the composition read as lush and vibrant… And I am instantly transported to a beautiful courtyard in San Miguel de Allende. Lasting impression: Classic, refined, fresh, polished, textural.

BALDWIN HARDWARE 2

“

Think about your design aesthetic and finishes—what kind of hardware you will need. Design around that.

”

It’s not as bold as one might think to compare fashion to decorative hardware. It enhances, adorns and beautifies while fulfilling utilitarian needs—and it is every bit subject to fads and design movements. Baldwin Hardware of Lake Forest, California, is a pioneer in the realm of hardware, crafting art-worthy, design-forward pieces that successfully defy trends. “We prefer to think of Baldwin as a fashion statement for the home: part of your design aesthetic,” says Baldwin Hardware Senior Brand Manager PJ Rosch. “Baldwin is couture for the door.” Celebrating its 70th year as an industry leader, Baldwin Hardware distinguishes itself from its contemporaries with an unwavering dedication to quality materials and design, not to mention seemingly infinite styles and finishes from which to choose. “We love creating inspirational design through the depth and breadth of our products and finishes,” Rosch says. Designers for the decorative hardware firm are embracing midcentury modern aesthetics and are also seeing a greater demand for black metals. “We are loving midcentury modern right now. It’s a great nod to the past, but with an updated style,” she says. “Also, black metals are all the rage now, but brass and warm, gold tones continue to gain popularity.”

1. Baldwin® Hardware’s newest additions to its best-selling Reserve portfolio are the La Jolla and Santa Cruz handlesets, Crystal knob and Contemporary knob. baldwinhardware.com 2. The Contemporary knob features a round shape contrasted with flat edges. The knob will pair nicely with products available in the Reserve collection. 3. The square full-escutcheon Santa Cruz handleset plays to a contemporary audience with a long profile.

INSIGHT, TIPS AND MORE FROM BALDWIN HARDWARE Style genre of note: Midcentury modern. Materials and finishes: Black metals, brass and warm, gold tones. A quick and chic kitchen update: New cabinet knobs and pulls are an easy, cost-effective way to refresh a kitchen. The new bathroom: Means having more living space. Chairs, flowers and a homey vibe are in—countertop clutter is out. Trends and you: Don’t worry about trends. Be sure to infuse your own personal style into your space and make it truly yours. A new era of opulence: 2016 is about luxury and options. People want well-crafted, timeless pieces that are high quality, complemented by artisanal pieces.

DACOR

Q+A WITH KITCHEN MARKETEERS CHUCK HUEBNER AND MICHAEL WEST OF DACOR

Founded in 1965, Dacor is a leading manufacturer of ultra-premium kitchen appliances. Designed and built in California, Dacor’s cooking appliances integrate function, technology and style to create intuitive products that reflect the lifestyle and needs of the passionate home chef. Dacor is also the first and only kitchen appliance brand to be tested and recommended by the master chefs of Le Cordon Bleu. Dacor manufactures a full suite of award-winning appliances, including ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, refrigeration, ventilation and wine preservation. Family-owned for more than 50 years, the company is responsible for many of the innovations that have improved the way people cook in the modern kitchen. Dacor created the 30-inch wall oven category, was the first to integrate an Android™powered tablet in ranges and ovens for the connected kitchen, and made the first continuous platform grates on cooktops, among other advances.

What are the top style and material trends for 2016? In kitchen appliances, stainless steel remains the most popular finish. Designers are gravitating toward color to offer their clients something different and fresh. Some are using color to solve problems, such as matching new appliances to established kitchen color schemes they want to keep. What should every well-designed kitchen have? Appliances placed to keep eye contact with your family or guests make for a better interactive experience. Placing a cooktop in the kitchen island with a motorized downdraft is a great way to not have your back to them, as is common with the conventional placement of ranges/cooktops against a wall. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? Connected kitchen appliances that add freedom to your lifestyle, such as the capability to preheat your oven remotely using your phone, and text you when your food is ready.

“

Ergonomics play a large role in the design of a high-end kitchen, and it is highly suggested that most cabinetry pull out or come toward you instead of looking out of reach.

Equal parts form and function, Eggersmann’s cabinetry delivers beautiful and useful organizational solutions to the modern home dweller. The company, drawing from more than 100 years of innovation, trial and achievement, is a driving force behind the concealed kitchen—a design movement that gives way to gallery-like spaces in the kitchen, and the cabinetry is art. Using earthborn, organic materials such as raw wood and concrete, Eggersmann’s ultra sleek and clean-lined cabinetry reimagines modernity in a warm and inviting fashion. “We start with the most intrinsically raw materials available, including woods, metals and glass,” shares Eggersmann USA CEO Michael Soltoff. “With these materials used in various textures, colors and sheens, we constantly push the limits of the basic core components.” The Eggersmann design foundation is built on key Bauhaus architectural characteristics—flat, smooth surfaces, cubic shapes, neutral colors and open floor plans (fundamentally pure and resounding in utility)—and is distinguished by technological feats in cabinetry composition and ergonomics, such as its electric mechanisms, custom storage, handle integration and exotic veneers. “The wide availability of parts, components, hardware and materials across the world has caused a demand and push for incredible leaps and bounds in innovation of product,” Soltoff says. “As electronic technology becomes more compact and lightweight, we see an increase in automation in our products, and it has become more of an integrated component of lifestyle, rather than just a cabinet or case good.”

EGGERSMANN ESSENTIALS Tangible Intelligence: “Every kitchen requires functional storage space that not only is accessible, but is clever in function,” Soltoff says. “Examples include specialized pantry systems, specialty fitting dishwashers, inserts and utensil dividers.” Ubiquitous Materials, Reborn: Looking ahead, Eggersmann’s work will reveal innovative uses of organic materials, such as concretes and raw wood, as well as industrial finishes, such as stainless steel, copper, bronze and aluminum. Continuity Control: “It is important to have a specific style carried throughout the space,” Soltoff asserts. “Many kitchens are a part of and centered around the living space of the home. This doesn’t mean that the kitchen must match the style of furniture, interior trim and construction. Often, our kitchens are shown as a juxtaposition or unexpected center of the home.”

HUBBARDTON FORGE In the quest to discover fresh aesthetics and innovative designs in interior lighting, we turn to Hubbardton Forge for insight. One of the most respected brands in the lighting industry, Vermont-based Hubbardton Forge was founded upon the principles of authenticity and genuineness, giving way to handcrafted, art-worthy lighting. David Kitts, Hubbardton Forge’s Director of Design, reveals what’s in store for high-end light fixture design. “Industrial and steampunk styles are definitely on trend,” he says. “They intersect in interesting ways in their embrace of strong, imaginative design and application. Our Otto collection is a great example of that.” Kitts also notes the movement toward large statement pieces that are designed in a way where “the metal ‘glows’ through the use of LED light guide platforms and shaped elements.”

“

When beginning a project, remember your lighting is the first thing that guests will notice as they enter a room.

WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE FROM HUBBARDTON FORGE Every well-designed kitchen should have: Layered lighting, such as multiple mini-pendants, a chandelier or wall sconces. Every well-designed bathroom should have: Color-accurate lighting. Materials + finishes of note: A new gloss-white finish; mixed metals; interesting glass elements used in surprising ways. LED driven: Hubbardton Forge has found ways to incorporate LED technology into the design, not just build LED fixtures. Advice for the homeowner: Think about the whole project; how one piece will interact with another. Don’t leave the lighting design for last.

1. The Louvre chose LED lighting for the Mona Lisa. The Glide LED bath bar offers a contemporary feel and is perfect for a large vanity space. 2. The brass and glass of the Otto sphere pendant combine to make a strong statement and focal point for the room. 3. The minimalistic Cuff pendant design, with its heavy steel cuff and thick blown glass captured within the cuff, works with a variety of styles.

PARIS CERAMICS

Q+A WITH RICHARD ABBOTT OF PARIS CERAMICS

Paris Ceramics blends time-honored materials and craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology to create rare products for floors, walls, ceilings, fireplaces and other objects of art. “We have a lot of new CAD machinery that enhances what you can do in terms of profiles patterns, etc.,” explains the firm’s manager Richard Abbott. “However, you still need to do finishing by hand to give the end result a bespoke quality.” Paris Ceramics has a special relationship with time, design and craftsmanship: No other company has invested in the technology and craftsmen to reclaim and preserve antique objects and flooring back to life. The juxtaposition of the world’s oldest objects preserved by the newest laser-cutting technology is the hallmark of Paris Ceramics. Only Paris Ceramics employs in-house artisans in the United States to ensure a near-flawless finish, size and product. As for new trends in the realm of flooring, Abbott cites traditional and new patterns, an increase in the use of various shades of blue and the rise of porcelain. “We try not to copy, but to be innovative,” Abbott says.

What is inspiring you now? New and traditional patterns and textures in stone and wood. How do you choose materials for each collection? We base selection on what we like, and it has to be timeless. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen or bathroom? Yes, but don’t forget the whimsical and fun. Describe the philosophy behind your firm. Paris Ceramics is the premier resource for timeless flooring material with soul.

1. Floor: hammered German silver. Shower: mother-of-pearl ceramic tile. Wall: breccia marble. 2. Antique Andalusian gray and white marble. 3. Floor: distressed French refined limestone. Wall: antique bottom-cut Bourgogne limestone.

“

Use materials that feel right to you, and you will love your space forever.

ZEPHYR VENTILATION

“

The range hood has become the centerpiece of the kitchen and often sets the tone for the kitchen design.

”

The kitchen has evolved from a utilitarian workspace to a familial gathering and entertaining central core of a home. The focal point of many of today’s most elegant and cutting-edge kitchens is the range hood, which was also born from a purely functional perspective. Zephyr Ventilation, based in Alameda, California, is changing this paradigm by blending high-caliber utility with high-quality aesthetics. “We have elevated the hood to its rightful place, with a focus on design, innovation and technology,” shares the company’s president Luke Siow. “Since the launch of our first hoods in 1997, we have remained true to our vision of delivering the unexpected: by deliberately seeking to change the marketplace.” The sophisticated hoods reveal remarkable technological feats within the kitchen, such as its DCBL Suppression System®, the industry’s first range hood motor powered by direct current (DC) energy (an evolutionary step from the traditional AC-powered range hood) and the newly unveiled Lucé with ICON Touch® controls, which integrate into the hood’s stainless steel canopy and control the hood’s LED lights in cloud white, deep blue and amber colors.

1. Lucé Island features industry-first, fully integrated touch controls, three-color accent lighting and a modern aesthetic. 2. Wave is a vertical-style hood with Dual Capture Zones to improve capture performance and ensure a well-ventilated kitchen. 3. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling above the island cooktop. 1

Q+A WITH LUKE SIOW, PRESIDENT OF ZEPHYR VENTILATION What are the top style and material trends for 2016? We are seeing a trend toward mixed materials in kitchen ventilation that incorporate ceramic, mixed metallics and glass. Colored and LED lighting are also trends we are noticing in ventilation as well as other kitchen appliances. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? The Wave hood features Dual Capture Zones that collect contaminates through two points to ensure a smokeand debris-free kitchen. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling and Perimeter Aspiration, a technique that moves airflow away from the central area of the hood and evenly distributes it through narrow openings around the perimeter of the hood. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen? A kitchen can have a cohesive style while still communicating the homeowner’s personality and individuality. We’re seeing a lot more color, pattern and customized appliances in the kitchen that truly reflect the style of the homeowner.

FROM SOPHISTICATED STAYS TO ZEN-LIKE RETREATS, HOTELS AND RESORTS HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF MOOD-SETTING STYLE AND RISK-TAKING DESIGN IN THE KITCHEN AND BATH. WRITTEN BY MARISA SPYKER

166 / LUXESOURCE.COM

When it comes right down to it, designers often have one overarching mission: to make the home feel like a perpetual retreat. The two most-frequented rooms in the home are no exception. Baths often transform into visions of spa-like bliss and kitchens become clean, open-plan breaths of fresh air. So, when seeking aesthetic inspiration, it’s only natural to turn to the very experts of escapist style: the hospitality industry. From modernist urban highrises to secluded South American estancias, the world’s most beautiful hotels and resorts have mastered the art of maximizing views, inspiring relaxation and pushing the boundaries of great design (a room bathed almost entirely in sleek, glossy wood, for example). Here, we celebrate five-star style in all its glory, alongside products that make vacation-like living a breeze to adopt at home.

PHOTOS: COURTESY OVER YONDER CAY.

Were it not for the ocean views, one would think the Rococo-inspired kitchen and bath shown on these pages were straight out of an estate in Paris. Houston-based architect Mihai Angelescu and designer Rodica Mirea captured a look of timeless elegance when imagining this villa located on the private Bahamian island resort of Over Yonder Cay.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL BARCELONA, SPAIN

DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: Design maven Patricia Urquiola employed her own wall-mounted chrome fixtures from her collection for Axor in the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona’s Penthouse Suite bath. Glossy ceramic stools from Rosenthal mirror the smooth surfaces of the vanity top and tub. WHY WE LOVE IT: Leave it to Urquiola to strike just the right balance of serene and sophisticated. The metallic vanity and wall of beveled-edge mirrors infuse an element of glam in the space, while the light wooden floors and tub keep it feeling soft and warm. mandarinoriental.com

AMAN

DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: The brainchild of Singapore-based architect Kerry Hill, this spacious suite bathroom is composed almost entirely of traditional Japanese Kakou Gan granite, allowing the pièce de résistance—a deep Japanese furo soaking tub—to take center stage. WHY WE LOVE IT: High above the urban bustle, the bathroom’s monochromatic gray stone décor evokes an air of simplicity that’s symbolic of Japanese culture. The space also allows the spectacular views of Tokyo and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji, to shine through floor-to-ceiling windows. aman.com

ESTANCIA VIK

JOSE IGNACIO, URUGUAY DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: When renowned Norwegian art collectors and hoteliers Alex and Carrie Vik sought to create a 12-suite luxury boutique hotel in the middle of Uruguayan farmland, their mission was to make as little of an environmental impact as possible (think solar panels, wind and geothermal energy, a water-recycling system). The bath in the artist-designed master suite is no exception: The entire room, including the walls, door, sink and tub, is enveloped in richly veined wood locally sourced from jacaranda trees. WHY WE LOVE IT: The dark wood-clad bath pays homage to the retreat’s sprawling 4,000 acres of countryside, but sleek details like the sculptural lines of the tub, minimalist steel fixtures and recessed lighting give the space a decidedly modern feel. vikretreats.com 168 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ESCAPE ARTIST

JEFFREY WILKES Resort whisperer Jeffrey Wilkes is the creative mind behind some of the most Zen-inspiring retreats in South Asia and beyond. At the Ritz-Carlton Mandapa in Ubud, Bali, he channels the lush outdoors with rustic materials and a natural palette. designwilkes.com 170 / LUXESOURCE.COM

What was your design inspiration for this space? When we created the bathrooms for the rooms and suites at Mandapa, it was our desire to have them act as extensions of the rooms. It’s a resort, and the experience of the bath, and the relaxation one feels from the experience, is paramount. It was important to create a space where someone would take the time to linger and enjoy a soak in the tub while looking out at the view.

Tell us about the mélange of materials. Touch is always a very important aspect of a room, along with the visual component. Here, patterned fretwork, weathered timbers and leather-finished marble stone all work in combination to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Woven ceiling panels are reminiscent of local Alang-alang (thatched) roofs. We also commissioned vanity sinks carved from teak wood with small decorative patterns around them.

How is the natural environment reflected? The earthy palette of chocolate brown, gold and bronze that we introduced to these spaces is taken in large part from the landscape and rivers that surround the property. We hung a pair of round mirrors over the vanity and flanked them with uneven water drop glass lights. It helps create the illusion that you’ve just set up camp in the forest, like you’re part of the evolving landscape.

HEAVEN SCENT Count on Dutch design great Marcel Wanders to leave no stone unturned in the quest to make the world a more beautiful place, right down to complimentary hand soaps in hotel rooms.

Naturally, the line comes in a coordinated package of chic, modern bottles, but the real surprise is the Moooidistillated fragrance: a unique blend of scents that include bergamot, nutmeg, lavender, tobacco and musk that’s dubbed “The Unexpected Welcome.” luxuryhotelcosmetics.com

Perhaps only second in line to what constitutes a really great hotel room (behind, of course, a drool-worthy bed) are insanely comfortable bath towels. Those of the Turkish variety are often considered the crème de la crème thanks to premium cotton fibers that are known for quick-drying qualities and an uncanny ability to become even softer after washing. Serena & Lily’s color-blocked and striped take here—a pretty favorite that brings to mind leisurely days on the beach—stays true to Turkish form with smooth cotton on one side and looped terry on the other for added wicking. serenaandlily.com

The company’s Cade 26 fragrance, a play on its popular Santal 26 scent shown right, was created in partnership with New York’s Gramercy Park Hotel and combines the smell of smoky wood with hints of leather (a nod to the cozy fireplace in the lobby). lelabofragrances.com

Part of the luxury of a hotel room snooze is what happens when it’s over—that next morning when you wake up to breakfast being rolled in on a room-service cart.

WINDOWS ON THE WORLD It’s true that inspiration can strike anywhere— but it doesn’t hurt to take your creative muse on a trip every once in a while. From Mexico and England to Scandinavia and beyond, the colors and flavors of far-flung locales can be as intoxicating at home as they are in their respective parts of the world (think bold Yucatán tiles on a patio in Southern California or a beautifully patinaed Swedish grandfather clock holding court in a farmhouse in Texas). Here, we tapped some of our favorite interiors experts for an insider’s look at the best international destinations for design lovers.

mission: WANDERLUST Designer Laura Kirar performs her own southern migration multiple times each year: The New York-based interiors maven and product designer owns a home in Mérida, Mexico, and finds herself endlessly enthralled with the historical city’s exciting arts scene and thriving community of craftsmen. Read below, as she fashions what her pitch-perfect itinerary looks like for a fun-filled day in the Yucatán. laurakirar.com 9 a.m. I always try to start the day with yoga and a swim at home. I’m still in the process of restoring my 18th-century hacienda, so I love to spend as much time there as possible. 10 a.m. Next up is breakfast: There are always tortillas made by hand, fresh-squeezed mango juice, huevos revueltos and avocados picked from the tree in my own yard.

11 a.m. There really isn’t a “shopping district” in Mérida, but the Mercado Principal in the center of town has a little bit of everything—from food to shoes to vintage jewelry. There’s also great shopping around the Parque de Santiago in Centro, where you can find contemporary, artisan-made sandals, hats and accessories at places like Kukul. 1 p.m. The lunch at Hacienda Temozon is fantastic; I always order the guacamole con chapulines, sopa de limon, carnitas and a tequila with sangrita. If it’s Sunday, we go to brunch at Hacienda Ochil. The hacienda is picturesque and also has its own James Turrell installation. 3 p.m. Next, I make my rounds: I visit FonArt shop for the best in embroidery, pottery, and table and bed linens, Coqui Coqui for natural mosquito repellent and room scents, and the Alfaro Galeria de Arte y Antigüedades in the Centro; though, the term “antiques” should be taken lightly—it has a really eclectic collection. 5 p.m. Then, it’s another late afternoon dip in one of the many surrounding cenotes, pools that form naturally when a limestone bedrock collapses. I love the Cenote Kankirixche; it’s breathtakingly beautiful.

Counterclockwise from top: Designer Laura Kirar wandering through her favorite outdoor market, taking a dip in the Cenote Kankirixche, and starting the night with friends and La Negrita’s famous mescal.

6 p.m. Time for a siesta at home followed by early drinks at La Negrita, where you’ll find the best taquitos and mescal around.

2LOCAL flavor David Serrano, one half of the creative duo behind celebrated Los Angeles shop Downtown, spills on what he loves most about his home away from home in Mexico:

“The quality of light in Mérida inspired me to start painting again. They sometimes call it the ‘White City,’ but its skies are very blue. And, while it doesn’t have mountains, the clouds are so white and full that they almost feel like unscalable peaks in their own right. It’s a big, big world, but I’m treating this little corner of it as my very own cabinet of curiosities.” downtown20.net

This year’s first-annual Caravana Americana, which took place in March, made a big splash in Mexico City thanks to its stunning array of art, fashion and housewares from all across Latin America. From the creative minds of Regina Barrios and Alessandro Cerutti, the pair behind the cult-favorite boutique Lago DF, Caravana Americana seeks to pair Mexican makers—like 1050 Grados, Ricardo Casas and CyTF, whose handsome marquetry work is shown here— with international buyers for a weekend of contemporary design bliss that we can’t wait to mark and set on our calendars for next year. caravanaamericana.com

The former executive director of one of the newest additions to the Yucatán arts scene, Fundación de Artistas, Indira Londono (right) reflects on the region’s growing creative community and gives collectors the inside scoop on where to go and who to watch when building their portfolios. fundaciondeartistas.org

Top Mexican artists to watch: Mérida has many talented local artists, but I’m mostly interested in artists who redefine the idea of art and utilize it as a vector to create a dialogue about relevant social issues. Some of my favorites are Alexa Torre, Marcela Diaz, Stefania Rivadeneyra, Karla Madera and Uggo Gonzalez.

What makes Mexican art different? It’s difficult to categorize and compare artwork from Mexico versus the U.S. because there are many factors that influence artists even within regions of the same country—for example, the art in the Yucatán will be very different than in areas like Oaxaca and Mexico City. Here, art specifically draws influences from many factors such as its region’s Mayan ancestry, Spanish occupation and the Caribbean climate.

Must-visit art fairs or festivals for American collectors: My favorites are Noche Blanca—an event sponsored by the city of Mérida in conjunction with artists, galleries, museums and public spaces for a finely curated tour of what the community here has to offer—and the National Biennial of Visual Arts of Yucatán—which features a wide range of Mexican art, including paintings, sculptures, photography, video-art and installations.

FIRST PERSON

MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD London to me is not only my original home and teenage stomping ground, it is a main artery for my decorative inspirations and design shopping. These days, I like to start my trip by booking into one of the splendid new design hotels that have sprung up across the country. My current hot spot is the super luxurious Beaumont hotel in London’s W1; it makes you feel like you’re in The Great Gatsby, but you’re not, you’re on a shopping trip with me; so, here’s what comes next: 8:30 a.m. There’s no better place to start your day than in The Colony Grill Room at Selfridges with a full English breakfast and lashings of Earl Grey tea all silver-served with the finest attention to detail. 10 a.m. Head over to Alfies Antique Market with dealers that sell everything from vintage-leather and vellum travel trunks (ask for Leslie Warander at The Tintin Shop to show you his secret stash hidden upstairs) to 1970s and ’80s Italian furniture and lighting. 11:30 a.m. From there, go to King’s Road in Chelsea. With luck, you’ll get to catch a viewing of the latest sale at Lots Road Auctions, a veritable bargainhunters local auction held weekly. My favorite antiques store in London, Guinevere, is just around the corner and is a real treat for the eyes.

12:30 p.m. After antiquing, a spot of lunch is required. I head to the Wolseley—by Piccadilly Circus—a European restaurant designed by my friend, the late and great David Collins. It’s highly stylized with black-and-white marble floors, bronze chandeliers and chinoiserie-lacquered panels. 2 p.m. A little après stroll down Piccadilly will bring you to Fortnum & Mason, the luxury food and lifestyle store that happens to make my very favorite tea, Imperial Earl Grey. After stocking up on that, I head to Jermyn Street to visit my tailor: Ozwald Boateng makes the most fun suiting. 3 p.m. No day in London is complete without art. The S2 Gallery, run by Fru Tholstrup, belongs to Sotheby’s and houses exhibits by rising art stars like Charming Baker, along with group shows, like the recent exhibit curated by Tommy Hilfiger and Jeffrey Deitch.

LONDON calling While Michael S. Smith has become a bit of a symbol of Americana— having been tapped by the Obama administration to reimagine the White House’s residential spaces during the First Family’s time in Washington, D.C.—the LA-based interior designer actually built much of his influential aesthetic from his time overseas in London, where he studied at the beloved Victoria and Albert Museum and fostered a lifelong love of antiques. Find out why his London calling is as loud as ever. michaelsmithinc.com What do you love most about British design? English homes, especially the wonderful country houses, have a very identifiable voice; they’re about putting various things together in a way that’s both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Since the country has a longer history than the U.S., people have been acquiring furniture and passing it down in the family for much longer, and the result is both a lack of fussiness and a

Known for his wild color palettes and playful style, Jonathan Adler doesn’t mind buttoning it up every once in a while with a dose of classic British design. Here are his top-five spots to visit in London. jonathanadler.com 1. My shops! I have one on Sloane Avenue and one on Westbourne Grove. They’re great fun (as evidenced by Adler’s Zebra British flag rug shown at right), and I’d love them even if they weren’t mine. 2. Liberty of London is a must. The building is sublime, with the most gorgeous Gothic architecture and patina. 3. It’s not a trip without a visit to Harrods. You can get literally anything there. 4. I love Alfie’s Antique Market—a —a building full of little shops and surrounding streets with shops. It’s packed with heavenly finds. I spend almost an entire day there whenever I’m in London. 5. The Conran Shop is another favorite. I love going to the flagship location in Chelsea. They always have something new and outside the box.

practicality when it comes to design. It sees very formal and important pieces feeling at home with more approachable and humanistic things: a mastery of the mix. Favorite British designers past and present: The classic example, of course, is the design firm of Colefax and Fowler; their work has been a not-so-secret source of inspiration in a lot of really good English houses. Beyond them, I love the modernity and color of the legendary David Hicks and the historical elegance of Robert Kime. Is there a historic English house you’d particularly love to design? I’d be truly thrilled to outfit places like Haddon Hall or Chiswick House—estates that have really beautiful architecture and are just extraordinary with a kind of eccentric appeal. There’s something challenging and exciting about creating personality in a home that already has so much of its own.

Los Angeles-based interiors and product designer Jill Sorensen may have left her Swedish upbringing behind in terms of miles traveled, but she continues to embrace the country’s sophistication and simplicity in her fun and quirky home projects all over the U.S. Here, she sits down with Luxe to give us a Swedish design history lesson. jillsorensen.com Favorite Swedish designers past and present: I’m a fan of King Gustav III. He was a Swedish king in the late 1700s who was obsessed with design, and during his reign, he created the style of furniture that’s the most famous in the country today: Gustavian. I also love Josef Frank, who designed the amazing Swedish Tenn fabrics that are like pieces of art. What do you love most about Swedish design? I love all things Gustavian, which is

basically a simplified country version of Louis XVI style: the distressed furniture, whitepainted floors, etc. Because of the lack of sunlight (only four hours or so a day in the winter time), Swedes are experts at adding brightness to their interiors with pastel walls and white interiors. Best shops to visit in Stockholm: You’ll find the most incredible fabrics imaginable at the beautiful Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm; it was originally founded in 1924, and it never fails to impress. I’m also always surprised at the things I find at Bukowskis auction house. It has incredible antiques up for grabs and is surprisingly affordable. Otherwise, blocket.se is also one of my favorite little secrets: It’s a resale site that is very popular in Sweden. You can find amazing things for next to nothing in your local area!

Swedish native-turned-New York and Palm Beach mainstay, Lars Bolander shares what keeps him going back to his homeland year after year: “What I love most about Sweden and Swedish design is its simplicity. The country’s sense of beauty is so uncomplicated: It’s all very pale with lots of neutral colors, grays and whites, and dove blue. I have a vacation home in a small village there with great history: As little as 50 years ago, the town telephonist lived downstairs. There was still just one phone in the whole village, and she would have to ring bells attached to people’s homes with string to alert them to a call!” larsbolander.com

AUSTRIA

We were invited to speak at the Monocle Quality of Life conference and took the chance to go to a place we’d been dreaming and planning on going to anyway. And we weren’t disappointed thanks to the classic buildings, wonderful design heritage, and great things going on culturally and entrepreneurially. Augarten Porcelain Factory Wow! This factory (above) is such a far cry from ours in California. We love that the owners of the company appreciated their staff so much that they created this beautiful place for them to work. We think the same way: that great work comes from great work environments. We just have a different style!

▲ LISBON,

PORTUGAL

Part of researching tile for the promotion of our latest book, Tile Makes the Room: Good Design from Heath Ceramics, this trip grew out of our fascination with places like Portugal, with cities and regions with layers of history that’s been preserved and respected. National Tile Museum There’s such a rich heritage of handcrafted tile in this country that they opened a museum dedicated to it (above) and set it in a former convent that dates back to 1509. The reverence for tile, a material that we so often overlook, filled us with awe. Palácio Ramalhete This hotel (shown at right) was an oasis of calm. There was gorgeous tile wainscoting everywhere, which was our favorite touch. We love hotels like this: intimate places (this one only has 12 rooms) with deep history.

Tage Andersen’s home (above), far from any major town, is an amazing work of art—and a working farm. The villa and gardens were created by Andersen, himself, a maverick florist and artist. It was designed almost as an art installation, but, again, with a farm, so it’s pleasing aesthetically but not at all precious. These trees were something that Andersen must have envisioned as many as 20 years ago; it’s taken that long to become what they are. heathceramics.com

SHEPHERD RESOURCES, INC/AIA Creating buildings that are centered upon clarity and simplicity is a fundamental goal of Shepherd Resources, Inc/AIA, one of the leading architectural design practices in the Rocky Mountain region. “The most beautiful, enduring solutions are the simplest,” says Charlotte DeChant, the firm’s founding partner. Founded 27 years ago, Shepherd Resources has worked on resort and residential projects that range from golf and tennis clubs to working ranches and rich, modern mountain homes. The practice creates architecture that is an integrated and authentic reflection of the location and the people it serves. “Our creativity results from listening and exploring,” explains principal Douglas DeChant. “We listen to the client and to the land. We gather as a studio to explore. We enjoy creative dialogue and watching amazing solutions emerge.” Shepherd Resources’ work evolves in response to its specific context, drawing influence from local materials and the environs of the site. The firm’s clients include resort properties such as Country Club of the Rockies in Arrowhead at Vail; Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club in Wyoming; and Frost Creek Mountain Club in Eagle, Colorado. Additionally, the firm has created numerous significant residences, both new construction and renovations, throughout Colorado and North America. Common to each project are solutions that are engaging, imaginative, progressive and enduring.

ELECTRONIC INTEGRATION “Technology is everywhere. It’s hard to imagine any aspect of our lives that doesn’t involve it!” exclaims longtime home automation enthusiast and expert Roger Koehler. “From our phones to cars to homes, technology has unquestionably changed how we engage many of our most integral devices—even how we engage each other.” At the forefront of the technological movement, or better yet, at the forefront of the research that highlights what works best at home and what doesn’t, is home integrated technology firm Electronic Integration. Koehler, who founded the Denverbased company almost 25 years ago, has spent a near lifetime perfecting the digitally intelligent residence. “Information and entertainment are at the touch of a button,” he says. “Making all of this technology work together didn’t exist 20 years ago. Electronic Integration has grown with these technology changes and the ability to make it work seamlessly.” Assessing the efficacy of new technologies, which are rapidly being introduced to the residential market, is a mission of Electronic Integration’s—allowing homeowners to not be overwhelmed with the breadth of options now available. “Technology development has been moving very fast in what and how you can control many parts of a home. The iPad and iPhone created a huge platform for that control capability,” Koehler explains. “We keep a close eye on technologies and what they can offer a homeowner.” The full-service firm is recognized for its custom-engineered home theater and whole-house entertainment systems. In addition to its dazzling in-home theaters, complete with dynamic sound, flawless large-screen displays and even seating that moves with the action, Electronic Integration offers a host of services, including lighting and shade control, music systems, security and networking.

Ravenna’s operations manager and listing broker at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, Dale Schossow, joined by his son Nick Schossow, broker associate, expounds on the qualities that distinguish this private club community. “We find Ravenna to be a community made up of people who love life and appreciate quality—of living, of the architecture of their homes, of construction, of services,” he shares. “We have a wide range of ages and family types, but they are all brought together by their shared love of the appreciation of everything ‘quality.’ ” Schossow, who has been a part of Ravenna’s resounding success and development from its inception, has actively participated in, as well as proudly observed, the steady growth of the intimate neighborhood and golf club. In fact, the past 18 months at Ravenna have been among the most transformative. “Membership has more than tripled; real estate construction is at its peak with more than 20 homes under construction and another 15 are scheduled to begin this year. We have added a number of key staff members to our team, including our head golf professional, George Kahrhoff, and our executive chef, Christopher Moore,” he enthuses. Ravenna has markedly outperformed sales statistics in Douglas County and shows no signs of slowing down.

We allow for a wide variety of homes to be built, from Spanish Colonial to Tuscan, but each home is held to the same standards of authenticity. What do you strive to create when you’re working on a project? Nick: We strive to make buying a home in Ravenna different from buying a home anywhere else. We look for ways to make everyone’s experience unique and memorable. What would be your dream creative project? Dale: I have handled the sales efforts for Ravenna since the beginning.

ichard and Hildegard Christian Wax have the art of building houses down to a science. In addition to constructing close to 50 homes in the Aspen area over the past two decades through his construction firm, Richard and Hildegard, who handles the interior design side of things, have also built houses for themselves in places from California to Mexico. And although they already owned a small house in Aspen, the couple felt ready to build a larger, more permanent home for themselves in the area. But, ironically, they didn’t arrive at that decision until they had already purchased another house. “It was a great site, with southern exposure, very nicely treed and with big views,” says Richard. “It had an existing structure on it that we had decided to remodel and fix up.” But after making the purchase, the couple had a change of heart. “My wife asked me what I thought of the house,” says Richard, “and I said, ‘Honey, I hate it.’ ” So, the couple hired architect Jamie L. Brewster McLeod, knocked down the house and got to work building exactly what they wanted. Enlisting Brewster McLeod was a natural move. “We had built five houses together,” says the architect, “and every one of them had a different soul, site, context and message we were trying to relay. Getting to build their personal home was a privilege.” The architect began by working with the couple to establish the aesthetic of the structure. “It was a little bit of a departure for us, because

we usually do a lot of stone and wood,” Brewster McLeod says of the past houses she designed for the builder. “For their own home, Richard and Hildegard had a very specific style they wanted. This house was to be more contemporary, stone and stucco, really light and bright, with a huge play on interior-exterior spaces.” Working closely with the couple, Brewster McLeod set the tone for the exterior with a 20-foot-high entry and gabled roof forms that give a nod to the surrounding mountains. Inside, the architect devised a three-level floor plan tailored to the couple’s lifestyle. “They wanted to live on one floor that had everything they needed while still offering privacy,” says Brewster McLeod, who situated an office for Richard near the front door for easy client access and placed the master bedroom toward the rear of the house near the kitchen. A bathroom was designed to open directly to an indoor swimming pool, which was a specific request of the couple, along with a tennis court, a pond and a vegetable garden.

“We wanted to fill that bucket list,” says Richard. Rounding out the floor plan, a trio of bedrooms was set on an upper level, while wine, art and storage rooms were placed a level below. To amplify a relationship with the outdoors, Brewster McLeod kept the ceilings high and the windows large. The living room is framed with glass on three sides, including sliding doors that open onto a spacious terrace. The dining room, kitchen and master bedroom also spill out onto this generous outdoor area. “I believe every house should have a strong connection with the exterior space,” says the architect. “We live our lives indoors, but the outdoors is what grounds us.” The terrace is finished with a pergola-shaded dining area, complete with a fireplace and barbecue. In appointing the light-filled interiors, Hildegard drew inspiration from the natural Aspen landscape in creating interiors with, as she says, “a sense of restraint and clarity.” She mixed pieces from her favorite designers with items gathered during the couple’s travels and her youth in

Europe for a sophisticated and collected feel. In the living room, she paired antique tapestry-covered chairs with linenupholstered Verellen sofas and Ralph Lauren Home tub chairs covered with raw silk. A fireplace surround salvaged from a château in France anchors the calming space. For the intimate dining room, Hildegard selected a Baroque-style walnut table and Verellen chairs slipcovered with soft leather. Here and throughout, she kept patterns to a minimum, preferring instead, as she explains, “the look and feel of calming textures and subtle hints of color.” Open glass shelving displays silver collected long before she and Richard were married, and a 17th-century tapestry from France hangs against the room’s stone wall. Hildegard carried the muted palette into the master bedroom, as well, with a buttery leather-upholstered headboard. Richard, alongside project managers Jeff Davis and Vincent Coghlan, oversaw the structure’s meticulous construction, which involved excavating and building a retaining wall at the back of the house to support the lower

level. In addition to handling the build, Richard, who had owned a landscape company and nursery in California years ago, also designed the landscape. Next to a stream that flows through the property, he enhanced an existing pond by using boulders from the site “to create a gorgeous double waterfall that spills into the pond,” he says. For the front of the house, he ensured privacy by planting large spruce trees and 6-inch-caliper aspens along the 1/4-milelong drive. “We didn’t want to wait for things to grow,” he says. “We wanted to see them now.” For both Richard and Hildegard, building the home was a rewarding experience. “We did a lot of pre-planning and spent a lot of time putting things on paper to make sure they’d work,” says Richard. “We wanted the house to fit on the site, to be understated and have all the things we wanted.” That unique and personal approach is evident in the final product. “From the design to the palette to the blend of old and new,” says Brewster McLeod, “the house is a great reflection of who they are.”

An indoor swimming pool was at the top of the couple’s wish list. Brewster McLeod realized the design by including it in the main level of the floor plan, just off Richard’s bathroom. The pool was installed by Timberline Pools and Spas.

THE NEW FRONTIER TWO SIDE-BY-SIDE VAIL VILLAGE CONDOS ARE TRANSFORMED INTO ONE STRIKING MODERN RESIDENCE. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIMBERLY GAVIN

he designers at Worth Interiors—the Vail Valley design firm with a satellite furnishings shop, Worth Home—are reimagining the venerable mountain aesthetic one room at a time. And the design that Eddy Doumas and Vicki Glotzer recently devised for homeowner David Brantley at The Lodge at Vail in Vail Village is a magnificent encapsulation of that progressive vision—modernist style infused with organic elements that pay tribute to the area’s rich history and landscape. “Design in Vail has moved away from a traditional Western sensibility to something more contemporary,” says Doumas, the firm’s owner and principal designer. “Natural materials installed in a clean way create a new mountain look that’s very sophisticated.” David, who works in finance and lives full-time in Austin, purchased not one, but two units at The Lodge when he found himself regularly visiting Vail. “I’m an avid skier and lived there briefly after college,” he says. “I love the mountains.” He was drawn to The Lodge for its ample amenities and proximity to the slopes, but the architectural style of the building—which strikes a fanciful note in the vein of a European chalet—didn’t resonate with David. “I wanted something modern,” he says. “But when side-byside condos became available, I had to grab them. I knew I could knock down the wall that separated the units, strip them to the studs and start over.” And David called on architect Michael Suman to do just that. After gutting the two condos, Suman transformed the space into a single four-bedroom residence with a den and a combined open kitchen, dining and living area. “The Lodge at Vail is an icon,” the architect says. “The exterior has remained largely untouched over the years. Because I started with a clean slate inside, there was a real opportunity to create something that flowed and captured the views.” Builders Steve Elicker and Sarah Wyscarver managed construction and helped to unify the space by removing existing columns in the public areas. “We replaced the posts with a 34-foot steel support beam,” Wyscarver says. The builders “had to crane it up on the roof,” adds Elicker, “and it took about 16 people to bring it in through a skylight and position it in place along the ceiling.”

“NATURAL MATERIALS INSTALLED IN A CLEAN WAY CREATE A NEW MOUNTAIN LOOK THAT’S VERY SOPHISTICATED.” -EDDY DOUMAS

Suman did leave one room divide in place, however. He swapped the original units’ side-by-side fireplaces for a sculptural four-sided one—clad with gray basalt and blackened steel—that partially separates the living and dining areas. “I wanted it to be new and fresh yet appropriate for The Lodge and all of its charm,” he explains. “I did plate steel because it is modern in style but speaks to the mountain aesthetic. Basalt is a natural stone that’s textured and gives a regional as well as elegant feel, and it’s laid in rectangular slabs that climb the height of the fireplace’s simple form.” Natural light pours into the dining and living areas through new expansive windows, which frame an epic vista of the mountains, sky and village. Complementing the interior architecture, Glotzer, who led the project, mixed artful and contemporary furnishings with pieces evoking an updated mountain vibe. “David likes industrial accents, but he also wanted it to be comfortable,” the designer says. “So, I juxtaposed the modern, architectural elements with organic pieces.” Leather-upholstered armchairs, a live-edge walnut coffee table and a long-wool shearling rug soften the steel of the fire surround in the living area. “The linen on the sofa is another natural material,” Glotzer adds. “Layers of different textures create visual and tactile interest.” In the dining area, a black anodized-aluminum pendant counters a wood-and-resin table and walnut chairs with wool-covered seat cushions. Across from the fireplace, Glotzer brought more tactile layers to a bar area, where David can entertain his friends. “Sheet metal cut and pieced together in an ashlar pattern clads the front of the bar,” she says. “And the backsplash is covered with a Phillip Jeffries wallcovering that looks like liquid metal.” The textured layers come together within a neutral palette. “Grays, taupe, black and white create a clean, sophisticated backdrop,” Glotzer says. “And they allow you to add pops of color with the art and accessories.” The designer tied the kitchen to the living and dining areas by collaborating with Suman and Nicole Bradford of Elegant Cabinetry and Design to create gray-toned laminate cabinetry that references the gray basalt of the fireplace. “The kitchen was a really strong piece of the puzzle because it’s open to the whole unit,” she says. Walnut pendants and stools with caramel-colored leather cushions balance the coolness of the gray. For two of the guest rooms, Glotzer designed silvery-taupe velvet-upholstered beds, which she dressed with gray washed-silk bedding. Altogether, the new interior reclaims the enchantment of Vail’s rich past with new materials that make a current design statement and still relate to the powerful surroundings. “I love Vicki’s use of steel panels on the bar and the fact that Michael chose sheet metal for the fireplace,” Doumas says. “The industrial feel of the steel combined with the live-edge details on some of the furniture and the distressed-leather-upholstered elements is so wonderful and interesting. This is new modern-mountain design.”

NATURE STUDIES ARTIST NANCY LOVENDAHL USES STONE AND CERAMICS TO CREATE HER OFTEN MONUMENTAL WORKS INSPIRED BY THE COLORADO LANDSCAPE. WRITTEN BY TARYN BICKLEY / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT KITTILA

’m the kind of artist that puts one foot in front of the other,” says Aspen-area sculptor Nancy Lovendahl. “Every piece I make is a little bit of a surprise.” Lovendahl gives her sculptures room to evolve, but they begin from a concept often inspired by things that catch her eye in the natural world around her—a rock, a shadow dance or the sky. Favoring stone and ceramics, the artist manipulates her materials alongside the ideas of natural geometry, proportion and a metaphysical state. “I want my work to be a talisman,” she says. “I want it to possess that vision, to become a clearer view towards a reconnection to our own nature.” Lovendahl’s studio and solar-powered house are situated in a rural valley in Old Snowmass, where she and her jewelry designer-goldsmith husband have created an artists’ haven. Bordering a huge field that overlooks 180-degree views of the mountains, their property surrounds them with stimuli. “Living in the mountains presents a monumental physicality around me,” says Lovendahl, whose materials and works often reach massive proportions. “Making threedimensional art is my way of relating to that physicality. It’s a way of finding a sense of place and where my place is in it.” That commanding landscape has always had a profound effect on the artist. Lovendahl recalls leaving the University of Illinois in the late 1970s— she studied ceramics—and making her way to Aspen. Arriving in Colorado was transformative. “It was the first time in my life that my shoulders

came down,” she says. “Both discovering the freedom of being my own master and the sense of space in nature have formed me as an artist.” Her newfound sense of freedom was exhilarating yet peaceful, a juxtaposition similar to those that permeate her works today. Themes of stability and fragility, safety and danger, mix with varying degrees of impulse and emotion. “And what comes through,” she says, “is a dance with my own possibilities.” Floating between her Old Snowmass space— where she sculpts pieces under 10,000 pounds and moves the heavy materials with a hydraulic lifting table—and a commercial studio in the Denver area, Lovendahl creates countless sculptures for public commissions and galleries. Her often-monolithic works, represented through The William Havu Gallery in Denver, where she will have a show next year, explore subjects like intercession, transformation and evolution. Creating her sculptures is an arduous process,

involving tools ranging from diamond-bladed saws to fork lifts. Her monumental-size works start with a plywood template and all of her pieces end with hand tools “to add the poetic details,” she says. “With such weights and labor involved there is no cutting corners or rushing works.” About to join Lovendahl’s oeuvre is a commission for Western State Colorado University. Her sitespecific piece aims to, as she says, “create a sculptural environment connecting music and the visual arts for those departments at the university.” The finished piece will encompass 25 by 50 feet and feature “flowing, standing sculptures that resemble the raw and refined in music and art,” says the artist, whose work will also be part of “Colorado Women in Abstraction,” opening July 15 at the Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Center for Visual Art and poised to coincide with the Denver Art Museum’s “Women of Abstract Expressionism” exhibit. Whether working in large or small scales, Lovendahl creates pieces with a powerful presence and strong connections with the land. “My experiences of nature are what inspire me to continue making art,” she says. “I hope they will inspire others to find their own experiences.”

Architect Michael Knorr revisited a home he designed in the Denver foothills for its current owners and created a new atrium space. Designer Elizabeth Brosnan Hourihan outfitted the room with Minotti chairs and a pair of B&B Italia sofas. Knorr and architect Claus F. Rademacher, who worked on interior architectural elements, brought in sandstone accents for added texture.

here is not a ‘fragment’ in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.” This sentiment by renowned naturalist John Muir could also describe an angular modern house in the Denver foothills that architect Michael Knorr designed to be a seamless part of its majestic surroundings. “There are snow-capped peaks and a lot of smaller hills in the foreground,” Knorr explains. “It’s a very dramatic setting.” Although Knorr designed the home almost three decades ago, he was recently given the chance to revisit the structure. When the house changed hands, its current owners commissioned him to make some updates. However, once the project got started, it grew in scope and soon morphed into a top-to-bottom revamp. Knorr began by designing a new light-filled atrium with lofted ceilings and clerestories and then added a standalone pool house, which connects to the original structure via an open breezeway. “By adding the pool house, we expanded the architecture into the landscape and made it a lot more horizontal,” Knorr says. “It’s like another abstract outcropping of the overall design.” The angles and multilevels of the house were originally designed “to conform to the topography and the views,” says Knorr, who organized the main living spaces around a central two-story gallery. “There are square forms and triangular shapes that intermix to create interesting angles,” Knorr explains about the connecting space. Adding to this existing layout, the architect increased the decking around the house and introduced a roof deck off the master suite. “The owners presented a wonderful opportunity to expand on earlier ideas,” says the architect. To revitalize the interior, the owners called on friend and designer Elizabeth Brosnan Hourihan. The Connecticut-based designer, in turn, brought in her longtime collaborator, New York-based architect Claus F. Rademacher, to tackle interior architectural elements, such as the casework, finishes and built-ins. Working closely together, the duo aimed to complement the modern architecture by introducing natural materials and hues inspired by the picturesque surroundings. “The palette comes from nature and the colors that the clients responded to,” Hourihan says. “The design is modern, but it has a lot of warmth because of the materials.” 272 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Hourihan paired a Minotti sectional, upholstered with a Pollack suede, with a pair of armchairs by B&B Italia and a Minotti ottoman covered with Edelman leather.

LUXESOURCE.COM / 275

Knorr and Rademacher, for example, added sandstone elements to the newly re-stuccoed façade to tie the home to the mountainous setting. The stone was brought inside, as well, to sheath columns in the central atrium and to clad fireplaces in the living room, family room and pool house. “We discussed extensively how to lay the stone and did mock-ups for three or four different looks,” builder Mark Manley says. “The job was significant enough that the owners of the quarry in Wisconsin visited the site.” To strengthen the connection between inside and outdoors, Hourihan worked with a palette of greens and blues when it came to the furnishings. In the atrium, for instance, the designer selected a colorful wool-and-silk rug that provides a bold backdrop for contemporary wing chairs and a pair of curvaceous sofas. “Since the view of the foothills is the main art, we were careful not to have art hanging on the walls that would compete,” says Hourihan. “The rug, with its powerful color palette, worked wonderfully as it’s a horizontal piece of art, not vertical.”

The atrium leads up to the main level, where Hourihan chose soft colors to “create a welcoming, calming feeling,” she says of the living room. The designer appointed the space, which also functions as a music room, with a sofa, two pairs of swivel chairs and a wide leather-upholstered bench. “It looks simple and modern, but the process was really rigorous,” Hourihan explains about deciding on the furniture arrangement. “A lot of thought went into every element.” A three-dimensional mock-up of the piano was used to find the perfect placement for the instrument. Rademacher devised a diamond-patterned walnut ceiling coffer to define the living room’s center, and in the adjacent dining room, he created a built-in walnut-andlacquer buffet. The piece acts as a divider between the two rooms, which were opened during the renovation. Hourihan crowned the dining room with silver wallpaper on the ceiling—“it offers a subtle touch of the unexpected,” she says—and grounded the space with a blue-and-white rug that echoes the snow-covered mountains outside.

Rademacher picked up the walnut again with extensive casework he fitted for the family room. “This is a large house,” Rademacher says, “so it was important to establish a sense of continuity throughout.” That through line continues in the master suite, where Hourihan had a large area rug woven to the bedroom’s unique dimensions and worked within a serene palette of blues inspired by the sky. Two streamlined armchairs by Christopher Kennedy pair with a Maxalto bed, underscoring the structure’s modern lines. In the master bath, Rademacher reconfigured the room to take advantage of the views. “I wanted to create a beautiful open space with expansive glass,” he says. “It doesn’t compete with anything happening outside.” Inspired by those impressive surroundings, landscape designer Seth Terry added a series of snow crabapple

trees to the outdoor terraces for spots of color and put in linear beds filled with lavender and ornamental grasses on the property. “The house is modern, and the owners wanted to blend the naturalistic setting with a contemporary planting style,” says Terry. “As you move away from the house, the planting beds become a little more unruly and natural.” The project took nearly two years from start to finish, and with updating the arresting architecture, the sophisticated new interiors and the imposing scenery, everything came together in a way that is striking and singular. “The concept was to combine the ideas that were important to the clients: the natural elements and their surroundings, soothing colors and a modern flair,” says Hourihan. “Bringing these ideas together has made the house completely unique.”

Hourihan converted an image by Thomas D. Mangelsen of a snowcovered mountain range into a custom four-panel wallcovering for one of the bedrooms. The walnutand-chrome table is by Herman Miller, and the chair is by Ligne Roset.
